As business increasingly goes global, more and more companies are facing the challenges that come with having a large, multi-national workforce. Georgia, for example, is home to 10 Fortune 500 companies with a global presence. As a result, human resource managers are faced with executing payrolls that may differ from one employee to the next due to various factors, including corporate locations, pay rates, corporate systems or even tax jurisdiction.

Fortunately, companies such as Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (ADP) are available to make an otherwise daunting - if not impossible - task seamless and efficient. In the United States, one-in-six workers in the private sector are paid by the company. One of its four divisions, ADP Employer Services, is a leading provider of outsourced payroll, benefits and HR services and offers many employee administration services including:

As the business unit of the Employer Services Division, ADP National Account Services designs flexible solutions that specifically meet the needs of large employers and changing workplace environments. This division has a large local presence with the headquarters of its 50 corporate offices right here in Alpharetta, Georgia - Atlanta's bustling technology corridor.

The National Account Services division offers a variety of transaction processing solutions that can be selected and tailored based on a company's individual needs. Its payroll services, for example, give human resource managers the ability to access and process their payrolls through a user-friendly software interface, but lets ADP control the more complicated technology component. The result is an efficient, effective system and an uncomplicated payroll process, giving human resource managers more time to focus on their company's employees.

One of ADP's flagship payroll offerings, Enterprise HR, was recently implemented for Caribou Coffee. Enterprise HR "offers a wide range of functionality including compliance management, employee performance management training and development, and complete payroll administration." The solution will help the company better manage the payroll and human resources needs of its 5,000 associates located throughout the United States through the seamless combination of HR, benefit and payroll data. In addition to the obvious benefits an efficient, streamlined system provides, the ADP solution will help Caribou continue its goal of providing the highest levels of customer and employee satisfaction through a reduction in time spent on administrative tasks and paperwork.

In addition to the payroll component of its National Account Services Division, ADP Employment Services offers a full suite of human resource services for companies of all sizes. Its wide variety of services and solutions help ensure that the move towards a global work force is as seamless as possible for human resource managers and employees alike.
